Capítulo 1958: Chapter 919: Inverted Light and Shadow
“The thod is basically the sa, just not as ruthless as theirs,” Gaven explained, “As long as the interest rates are relatively standardized and reasonable, in most cases, it can be a win-win situation with those rchants.
These rchants use these liquid funds to get through the toughest tis.
The governors of massive amounts of cash make colossal amounts of capital flow, creating new value.
If there are enough banks, they will provide unimaginable convenience to those rchants. They won’t need to transport large amounts of cash or goods all over the world; they just need to carry cash vouchers to purchase goods at their destination, reducing their risk on the journey.
This will play a positive role in comrcial developnt.
The church monastery of the Goddess of Wealth had already ventured into this business before the Year of Upheaval.
But everything abruptly stopped with the disappearance of the Goddess.”
Katherine, musing, said, “You’re not planning to enter this industry, are you?”
“Initially, it was just a consideration, but now we have enough capital,” Gaven nodded, admitting. “So many people starting to venture into this industry fully illustrates the demand for it.
Especially ultra-long-distance trade like the Far East Trade, the demand for capital is enormous. Even many large rchant guilds would face a massive impact on their cash flow if they wanted to run a trip, let alone the consequences of failure.
If we build a bank in both Tavelan and the Soaring Dragon Empire, offering currency exchange and credit services to these rchants, even charging a ten or twenty percent fee, do you think the rchants would be willing?
I also have the path advantage, and those comrcial inns along the way can all expand into this business.
If statues of mine are erected along the entire road, the safety and speed of transporting these precious goods are absolutely unmatched by typical rchants. They might even entrust so precious goods to us for transport.”
It was clear this wasn’t a whimsical idea Gaven had after seeing the Shadow Nest treasury. He had planned this developnt long ago.
rely undertaking massive infrastructure on roads isn’t enough; he also needs to find a way to fully utilize these roads. The logistics industry has an unparalleled advantage, and as long as he firmly grasps the Road Clergy, no one else can take it from him.
Then, based on this, he begins to advance into Felen’s trade and wealth domains.
In Felen, the three divine positions of trade, money, and wealth already have their masters, but that dear Goddess of Wealth is famously brainless despite her allure.
During the Year of Upheaval, she foolishly ran to seek help from Lord Ubar Grazte, trying to borrow a path through the Bottomless Abyss to return to her God Kingdom.
The result was predictable; after delving into the Bottomless Abyss, Grazte betrayed her without hesitation, imprisoning her in the Bottomless Abyss for over a decade. She was only rescued in 1371.
Now, her divine position is being managed by her best friend, the Joy Goddess Lyralla.
The Joy Goddess is certainly not one to manage money, in just over a year, the wealth and believers of the Woken Church have diminished significantly, with much being spent on indulgence, leading to severe wastefulness.
Many rchants turned to the God of Travel and Exploration, Mount Dakor. Although the Hand of Aid is sowhat of a stretch, it is at least more helpful to wandering rchants. His believers are passionate on the road.
Much better than a bunch of idle priests and sacrificers imrsed in revelry.
And these ten years marked Gaven’s opportunity.
The road is a crucial link in comrce, and coupled with his involvent in comrce, he believes that rchants who benefit will actively lean towards him.
The Golden Road is the best entry point, and now the Shadow Thief has even provided him with sufficient startup capital.
With heaven’s timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony, he has gathered two and a half elents; once he wipes out the Tukan Army, he can fully launch.
Katherine couldn’t help but give Gaven a deep look. She knew he had great ambition, dared to gaze upon the Domain of Gods with a mortal body, but she did not expect his ambition to be so vast, coveting not just one domain.
But upon careful reflection on Gaven’s actions, she had to admit that he is advancing rapidly in this direction, step by step.
Even the Lady has to continually increase her investnts in him, until the two are completely bound together, sharing glory and loss alike.
Binding a New God to one’s war chariot is no ordinary feat.
The only thing Katherine could do was promise, “If the General needs to do sothing, do not hesitate to ask, I will certainly give my utmost support.”
“Your main task is still to do a good job with the War Academy, cultivating more dedicated sacrificers and excellent officers.”
Gaven seized the opportunity to further specify Katherine’s task, “Your burden is heavy; in the Eastern Desolation, you need to at least establish two War Academies, one in Tavelan, and one in Klonte.
The funding and academy construction are not for the Lady to worry about; I will handle them, but as for the corresponding curriculum and teachers, I am powerless, and I must ask the Lady to put in more effort.”
He has a complentary relationship with the Goddess of Strategy.
His rocket-like developnt started from stepping onto the Conqueror Path.
Though it certainly lies in his accumulated efforts, the organization of the Lady Strategy’s church is equally creditworthy.
He fully utilized the influence of the Lady of Strategy to organize a massive immigrant group, ard them with her core doctrines, and filled the immigrant group with a large number of dedicated sacrificers of the Lady Strategy, making its backbone stronger.
